Finally-A-Not-Boring-But-Interesting-Instead Wednesday Daily Post

Long title. Really long title. Yeah, today is really interesting. Let me grab a cup of coffee as I slowly blog.

This morning went with my cousin, Dave (those of you who read the last Raid Instance should be familiar with him), went swimming with me. We agreed to meet at 10:15am, but I left home early due to my mother's nagging (which is worse than four bulls, five lions, six tigers, seven leopards, eight jaguars and one bloody Chinese martial artist with his Lion's Roar combined, all roaring at you).

Lion's roar is the name of a semi-legendary fictional vocal attack technique of the Chinese martial arts, featured prominently in Steven Chow's 2005 Mo lei tau/Wuxia hit Kung Fu Hustle.

I reached the pool at ten o'clock, a bit too early. Dave called me to say that the three pairs of keys had already been taken by his mother, father and sister respectively and he does not have a key to open the door, so he has to wait for his mother. I proceed to swim alone, waiting for him. At about 11.30am, that slowpoke finally arrived. We swam for about an hour before finally deciding to go to the gym. Sadly, me, being the first time to go to a gym, did not bring a pair of sport shoes, so we cannot go in. Instead, we went to have lunch.

Realizing that I do not have much money, I suggested to Dave about buying cup noodles from 7-Eleven and eating them to save money. He agreed. We bought two cups of noodles, shared a Super Big Gulp, paid, and marched down Tampines Central to the nearest HDB flat. Yes, "marched". So after marching for about ten minutes, we found a table and a bench at the void deck of some HDB flat, and went on to have our "budget" lunch there.

While having our lunches, he asked if I am going to work with him next week to earn some extra pocket money, as a flyer distributer. -_- He even said that he is going to set up a flyer distributing company, as he had so much experience in distributing flyers (he started as a flyer distributor since seven years ago).

Then, we decided to play LAN (Local Area Network). We went to our regular LAN store, but it was closed. We went to both Tampines Mall and Century Square to look for one, but to no avail. Finally, we decided to take a bus to Tampines Mart. Being so far away, he swore he is going to beat me if the LAN store there is closed. :S

We went there. Thank Lord Saradomin it is opened. We played Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. He, being the "I can smash down any bloody person standing in front of me with this Bastard Sword I have" type of person, wanted to have a two-on-three match. Knowing we will get pwned terribly, I suggested a 3-on-3 match. He agreed.

I used Orc, he used Human, our computer ally used Orc, and the three enemy computers used Orc, Human and Orc respectively. They had seriously good teamwork and were able to both macro and micro very well. Well, that's obvious, they are computers. ^_^"

Macro means to develop your base very well, training units, researching upgrades and building structures efficiently, while just throwing your units into combat and not paying attention to them. Micro means to pay a lot of attention to your units, sometimes even controlling only one or two of them at a time to give yourself an advantage over battle. Most players focusing on micromanagement find that their bases lack units, upgrades and structures.

Obviously, we were thrashed, especially when there are only ten gold mines in the map and six players. In the middle, Dave had 7k gold and refused to share with me, the 200-gold guy. (Selfish... ) We weren't really good at teamwork on that game, thus we lost. We didn't even bother to save the computer ally's ass when he got attacked by all three enemies together. :P

Next, we tried a 2-on-2 game. I continued using Orc, while he switched to Night Elf. The map we are playing on had two bases really close to each other, that there are two ways to enter both players' bases (a Way Gate and a slope up the plateau). There were also eight gold mines on the game, four at the four corners of the map while the other four nearer to the center, being the one we started with. I quickly trained a Far Seer and some Grunts, upgrading my melee weapons and armour as well. He went for a Priestess of the Moon and some Archers. We quickly liberated both extra gold mines from creeps and I built a Great Hall near the Gold Mine near mine, while he, for some stupid reason, decided not to touch his gold mine.

We built our Voodoo Lounges and Ancient of Wonders (both shops that players can build) between the two bases, and quickly spam our Heroes, Grunts and Archers at the slope for defense. I even spammed Watch Towers, with him aiding with two Ancient Protectors. When we upgraded our Great Hall and Tree of Life to Stronghold and Tree of Ages respectively, I went to build a Spirit Lodge and started training Shamans, while he decided to build an Ancient of Lore to train Mountain Giants. After continuously creeping and defending our bases for enemies' attack, we charged in.

At first, I wanted to do a "Lure the Tiger Out of the Mountains" strategy, which means sending both our heroes (my Far Seer (Level 8) and his Priestess of the Moon (Level 10)) to the enemy bases, lure them out, then run all the way back to our bases, where my Shamans, Grunts and two of his Mountain Giants, not forgetting two of his Ancient Protectors and about thirty of my Watch Towers wait. :P It didn't really work well, as we took care of the enemies easily with two of us. I quickly used Feral Spirit to summon two Shadow Wolves to hold the enemies back, Chain Lightning to thin their HP, then Earthquake to cripple their Barrows (surpisingly neither of them had any Watch Towers... Hmm...) while Dave used the pwnage Starfall to severely cripple the units and the buildings.

Obviously, it worked. Well, obviously it did, seeing that we killed their Blademasters, Tauren Chieftains and Shadow Hunters when they came to commit suicide on our Watch Tower-flooded bases, they had no Heroes to efficiently defend. Impatient, I rushed my Shamans and Grunts, while he sent his remaining Archers and Mountain Giants. Halfway through the battle, my second Gold Mine collapsed. Know what I did? I send my 13 Peons and charge them towards the enemy base which we are not attacking! Yup, it's the Peon Action Party! Even Bloodlusted them with my Shaman for some fun.

Speaking of Bloodlust, that was really useful in our attack on the second base. As Bloodlust increased the attack speed by 40%, with my Tauren Chieftain's Endurance Aura, our troops' speeds were really fast. His Archers shot almost at the speed of light, while the sharp polearm of my Tauren Chieftain and the axes of my Grunts almost looked as if they are dancing.

At the end, if you wanted to know, I had a Far Seer (Level 10), Shadow Hunter (Level 6) and Tauren Chieftain (Level 2), while he had a Priestess of the Moon (Level 10) and a Keeper of the Grove (Level 1) which he trained and never used. ^_^"

After thrashing the enemies, we went home. Apparently my mother was entertaining some guests. And know what? The lock has some problems and cannot be unlocked! XD

After some futile attempts, armed with a hammer (For Doomhammer! ), a paperclip, a hairclip, a big-metal-scissors-what-cha-ma-call-it-tool-which-I-do-not-know-its-name and a another-big-metal-tool-which-I-do-not-know-its-name-but-instead-believes-it-is-used-to-hold-hot-items,
but to no avail.

Thrall, the current Warchief of the Horde in Warcraft, is armed with the "Doomhammer", a warhammer (possibly named after Orgrim Doomhammer) formerly used by Thrall's predecessor, Orgrim Doomhammer himself. When Orgrim fell in battle when freeing the Orcs in an Alliance Internment Camp, Thrall picked up Orgrim's warhammer and black armour and proclaimed himself as the Warchief of the Horde. In Warcraft III, when the player gives Thrall the command to attack, he may shout "For Doomhammer!".

And then my father comes. Bloody hell, he got annoyed and thought it was I who damaged the lock. What injustice is this?! Don't that foolish bastard actually understands that I too wanted to open the lock so I can get into the freaking house and play the computer? Unjust bastard. Keep the change, you bloody and filthy animal.

I went downstairs instead, watching three boys playing "monkey", a game where a player becomes a "monkey" and tries to snatch a ball as the others passed the ball to each other. After about three minutes, I asked to join in. Was quite fun actually. :P

Came back to see a stupid bastard still continued in his persistent attempt to break a lock. God damn it, if anyone can just break a lock like that, burglars would be filthy rich. Then he called for a locksmith to open it. After waiting for quite a while, where I listened to my MP3 player and practiced with my Infested Warspear, the locksmith came. Using a electricity-powered wheel, he managed to cut the lock into two, filled with tons of sparks. Damn, if I knew fire can do it, I should have burnt it down.

Then he expected seventy dollars. Bloody hell. I might as well become a locksmith myself... I can played World of Warcraft for three months with it. -_-

Then the guests my mother was entertaining went home. Bloody hell, their daughter is so damn chio!! I even forgot to take a picture or something! Damn it, I am such a blur f***er!

Chio: A somewhat impolite way of describing a woman as pretty.

Impolite my bloody foot.

Blur: Used to describe someone as rather inept or in a world of his own. May also be used to describe the feeling of being dazed.

My comments on reading this after a year and four months or so: ...........What. The. Fuck??

Anyway, I got back home and started blogging. The end.

Double Boring Tuesday Daily Post

A pair of double boring days for double sleepiness and half alertness every single double time.

I suck in the theory part and I suck in the practical part. I'm just freaking glad it is not my dream of being a pilot. Who cares about it? :D

Yoshida did not come for the Physics enrichment today, so I had to take his certificate for him. Oh well, I'll return it to him next time we meet.

Knew this is a short post, but nothing I can do about it. :D Off to string more bows, hopefully I can finally finish them by today. C'ya, guys.

Boring Monday Daily Post

Had A. Maths classes this morning. Yay, what a way to enjoy our holidays. *rolls eyes* Meh, I should just be glad that this is the ONLY A. Maths lesson that I can understand most of the things being taught. :|

Then, when going back to school, we were imagining how Alvin is having his lunch right now. Went to eat lunch with Yoshida after that. Damn it, I had an empty wallet. Luckily Yoshida agreed to accompany me back to my house (just to get money for lunch. How pathetic. ). On our way to KFC, we are already predicting that the whole class would be eating down there. True enough. The whole restaurant is full, and none of them is not my classmates. O_O Then halfway eating, we see two children crying around just because their mother disallowed them to have KFC. I told Yoshida "You know what the mother is thinking? 'Damn it, there isn't even a single chair here for us to sit. You want your mother stand up eat, is it?!'." :P And Yoshida agreed with me. o_O

Then, when going back to school, we were imagining how Alvin is having his lunch right now. o_O Both of us were agreeing that he might be eating chicken wings violently with both hands, swallowing down whole bowls of bak kut teh continuously without stopping, drinking one whole can of Pepsi in three seconds by raising it high up above his mouth, throwing every single French Fries he has on his table into his mouth and reserving two tables just for him himself, filled with bowls, plates and trays, both finished and unfinished. As we went back to school, we were predicting that Alvin would sure come back to school at 2.30pm instead, munching on some more unfinished food and telling the teacher that "he is still hungry and has three tables of food unfinished".

On the way back to school, we found a Pokemon card. It was a Houndoom, whatever, I took it. :P Wait... S***!!! *runs off to the toilet and comes back with a wet card* Left it in my uniform and forgot to take it out. ^_^"

Had some Physics Enrichment on Aviation (flying) after that. Wow, it is sure going to benefit me a lot... The whole theory lesson was one whole lump of confusing matter. Acceleration, sine, free fall, velocity, mass, tangent, generating, angle, cosine, gravity and whatnot is going to confuse you and murder you. In one bloody hit. ^_^"

The practical was not any better either. We have to "fly" using a flight simulator, but all the meters down there confuse me even more. O_O And we still have to do some perfect U-turn, landing, whatsoever. Shoot me. Shoot me now.

During the practical lesson, I am only proud of myself in two things. One, I succeeded in activating the Multiplayer function, in which Alvin and I played together, being able to see each other's plane, how and where they are flying, and being able to chat with each other too. Two, I succeeded in doing the coolest and most pwnage stunt which amazingly ends in the plane crashing. XD

And oh, congratulate me for obtaining Level 99 Fletching in RuneScape. :D It's the highest level there is, and I'm ranked 1895th among all RuneScape players throughout the whole as of time of writing. :D

Call me bored or something, but after about a year and five months, my Fletching rank has dropped to 6601st. XD

This blog post was edited on 31 October 2007 (4 more minutes to 1 Nov; it's 11.56pm now XD) to nuke those fucking broken images out of ImageShack.

Power of the Horde!

New song for the week. Definitely not what I wanted yersterday, but I decided against the original one, so I got this instead. Sort of as a tribute to the coming holidays I suppose.

The song is titled Power of the Horde. It is played during the Credits of the RTS (Real-Time Strategy) Game Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, but also when the player typed in a cheat code during the game. The cheat code is "tenthleveltaurenchieftain". Obvious from the song's title, this song is about the Horde, made up of the Orcs (Warcraft I, Warcraft II, Warcraft III and World of Warcraft), Ogres (Warcraft II and Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne), Goblins (Warcraft II), Forest Trolls (Warcraft II), Jungle Trolls (Warcraft III and World of Warcraft), Taurens (Warcraft III and World of Warcraft) and the Undead Forsaken (World of Warcraft).

Here goes the lyrics:

Storm, earth and fire - Heed my call!

I am the son of the wind and rain
Thunder beckons and I heed the call
If I die upon this day
In battle I will fall!

Hear me, brothers, gather up the wolves
To battle we will ride
Wardrums echo the beating heart
Pounding from inside!

Storm! Black clouds fill the sky!
Earth! Hear my battlecry!
Fire! And thunder will bring forth!
Death! From the Power of the Horde!

Far Seer to the Warsong Clan
To no man will I kneel
Feel the power and the energy
Born of black blood, honour and steel!

Feel the fire burning in my veins
The lightning strikes at my command
Storm and earth, axe and fire
We come to claim this land

Storm! Black clouds fill the sky!
Earth! Hear my battlecry!
Fire! And thunder will bring forth!
Death! From the Power of the Horde!

Surrounded by the enemy
The wolves among the hounds
Thunder turns to silence, sek-ta
The hundred to bring me down

Wolf brothers falling at my side
With honour I will die
Upon the Altar of the Storms
I will be reborn!

Storm! Black clouds fill the sky!
Earth! Hear my battlecry!
Fire! And thunder will bring forth!
Death! For I have been reborn!

Storm!
Earth!
Fire!
Death!
The Power of the Horde!!

Last Raid Instance

BEGINNING DAILY REPORT OF VERNON'S BLOG

We see a black-haired teenager wearing white and holy-looking armour, grinning into the video and waving madly. "Yo, what's up?"

A cool warrior stood in the distance, folding his arms coolly and with his back facing the camera, his sword and his spear beside him on standby. He turned to face the camera. "Just because we have a video recorder for this raid instance, Yuchi, and not a voice recorder, does not mean you can have fun with it."

"Gee, chill out, Samy." The paladin replied. "Where are they?"

Samy turned his back again. "I don't know, but they should be on their way."

"So who'll be reporter today?" Yuchi asked.

"You." Samy replied.

"Why me?!" Yuchi started to get angry.

Suddenly, a knight jumped in front of the camera. He holds a very large and heavy blade.

"Hey, there, Dave." Samy greeted. "What took ya so long?"

"I... overslept." The knight replied, looking around curiously. "So, I suppose we are going in now?"

"Not yet, we are still waiting for someone." Samy replied. "Anyway, Yuchi, meet Dave, my cousin. Dave, this is Yuchi."

"Nice to meet you." Yuchi said.

"Just don't try to hold me back." Dave warned.

"Huh?" Yuchi was taken aback.

"Coming!!" A voice came from nowhere. Samy, Yuchi and Dave looked around alertly.

"What the?" Samy asked.

The camera was suddenly knocked and now looking up at the view of the sky.

"Caleb! Why the hell did you knock down the camera?!" Yuchi roared.

"Sorry! Sorry!" Caleb replied, putting the camera back to position.

"You are late, Caleb." Samy said.

"That's why I rushed here and accidentally knocked down the camera, right?" The video shows a teenager, a scar between his eyes, above his nose, looking a little chubby. Behind him, Dave was swinging his sword impatiently.

"Let's go." Dave yelled.

"Hold on!" Yuchi cried. "This is Paladin Yuchi Lightbringer, Reporter of today's Raid Instance to Vernon's Blog. With me are Warrior Samy Dragonflame, Knight Dave Dragonflame and Rogue Caleb Junwei."

"Hey, Dave, wait up!" Samy yelled, running after him into the dark cave.

"Let's leave the camera here and run after them." Caleb suggested.

"Dimwit! We need the camera to record and report this Raid Instance!" Yuchi scolded. The camera was picked up, and now shows Caleb running into the cave. There are huge vibrations; the camera appears to be moving at a high speed, showing that Yuchi was running too.

"What took you so long?!" Dave roared.

"Whatever. Any monster in sight?" Yuchi asked.

"We just killed a few. Oh, here comes another one." Samy raised his sword higher, while Dave gripped his blade with two hands. Caleb swiftly took out his dagger.

The monster roared, ONLY THOSE THAT PASS THE TEST OF PATIENCE WILL MAKE IT INTO THIS BLOG."

"Patience? I suggest we just hack this beast down." Dave told the rest

"Agreed." Yuchi replied, brandishing his heavy warhammer.

"I'm not doing it." Samy added. "All of Vernon's monsters have bad breath, but this one can easily win the Monster With The Worst Bad Breath Award."

"Then again, if the award was not only qualifed for monsters, Vernon would snatch it from this brute." Caleb added, looking up at the beast in his face and quickly covered his noses.

"I'm getting air polluted here." Yuchi looked like he was going to faint.

"ARE YOU READY?" The monster roared.

"Damn!" Samy shouted. "Yuchi fainted!"

"Low resistance to smelliness, uh..." Caleb started, but fainted as well.

"How the heck are they going to make it to Vernon like that?" Samy asked.

"WELL GO IN IF YOU WANT, YOU WON'T FIND ANYTHING." The monster howled.

"If bad breath is a crime, this thing would have die a long time ago." Dave told Samy.

"Then again, if it really is a crime, we won't have this Raid Instance, will we?" Samy replied, smiling, his eyebrow raised.

"Yeah, Vernon would already be executed long ago." Dave explained.

"Just hurry up and end its misery." Samy yawned.

Dave raised up his blade, a red aura quickly surround him. "Dragon Fang!" He quickly jumped up, now above the monster, and heavily pierced his blade through the monster's face.

Samy covered the camera with his hand. "Animated violence and animated blood, boys and girls, not suitable for people under 18."

"Oww... What happened?" Caleb asked.

"You guys finally woke up, eh?" Dave asked coolly, his blade resting on his shoulder.

"Don't blame me. That one, too strong!" Yuchi replied.

"Wait until you smelt Vernon's. Let's go." Samy laughed, and ran in.

"Damn! Did we bring any smelling salts?" Dave asked as the other two followed Samy.

"Ok, there's the carvings..." Samy said unconsciously, examining the carving excitedly. The video showed the carvings, but lack of light makes it difficult to see.

"Holy Light!" Yuchi shouted, and a blinding light was suddenly conjured.

The video now showed the carvings, readable under the strong light.

"Appears that he is bored of blogging." Caleb read.

"So this will be our last Raid Instance?" Yuchi asked sadly.

Samy grimly nodded his head.

"My first and last time. How ironic." Dave turned his back.

"It also says here that... This blog would be left open for people to venture in?" Samy asked curiously.

"He needs food for his monsters here, remember? What better source?" Dave explained.

"True. Then we can continue to have Raid Instances!" Yuchi cheered.

"Nah, it is going to be the same monsters, same content, same boss." Caleb replied. "Why not we go other places?"

"Let's see..." Yuchi lowered the camera. "WHAT?! "SAMY AND HIS WORTHLESS FRIENDS"?!"

"For Lord Saradomin's sake, one of Samy's friends alone is worth more than he and his gay partners combined." Dave replied boringly, playing around with his fingernails.

"Very true." Samy continued to examine the carvings with interest."

"And it says that we are going to go on a journey, to find the legendary proness, ONE PRONESS!" Yuchi jumped around excitedly.

"Yeah, better to search for it then being lazy to search for it but instead act as if he searched for it. Arrogant, I call it." Dave replied.

"Refering to Vernon?" Caleb asked.

Dave turned his back. "Very obviously."

"Yeah, we all know that Vernon is hardly what you can call a 'pro'." Samy added. "Such arrogance of him only disgraces true pros."

"True pros can withstand more than a hit from my warhammer." Yuchi further added, raising his warhammer high up. "I bet you my status as a Paladin that I can crushed him to dust with one blow."

"Provided you can get close to him and his bad breath. Continue, Samy." Dave replied.

"He's not giving a... a... a..." Samy scratched his head.

"A what?" Caleb asked and went in front to look with Samy. "Oh."

"...about anything that happens to this blog." Samy continued.

"So he doesn't give a damn if we lay siege to this worthless piece of junk?" Yuchi asked excitedly.

"Let's wreak havoc later." Dave added.

"Wait. He doesn't give a... about anything that happens to this blog..." Samy repeated. "Does that means he gave a... about anything that happens to this blog before?"

"Naturally." Caleb replied, slashing thin air with his dagger out of boredom.

"Does that means he... his blog before?" Samy asked.

"Obviously." Yuchi said, while Dave replied together, "Duh."

"Reading on." Samy spoke. "'If you retards already realized, I have removed the tagboard.'"

"Strange, we haven't realize that." Yuchi replied.

"So by that, we aren't 'retards'." Caleb added.

"Unlike someone whom already realized that." Dave added.

"Vernon?" Yuchi asked.

"Obviously!!" Samy, Dave and Caleb shouted together.

"So those that are worthy..." Samy read on.

"What a pro, making stupid grammar mistakes like that." Yuchi rolled his eyes. "It's 'those who are worthy'."

"He's a 'pro'. What can you expect?" Caleb asked.

"Stupidity in the brain, handicap in the mouth, paralyzation in the body, cannot-be-used in the crotch, weakness in the hands and uncontrollable legs." Dave replied. "Need I add some more?"

"No thanks, Dave, you perfectly described him."

"Read on, Samy." Yuchi said.

"If only you didn't interrupt me..." Samy continued. "... worthy of talking to the great one can still contact me on MSN. Take note. Only those who are worthy."

"Take note. Only those who are worthy." Caleb replied, in a girlish and childish voice that reminds everyone of Vernon.

"What's with the high pitch? My ears...! I can't feel my ears!!" Dave panicked.

"Relax, this would go off soon. Vernon's voice can do harm to people's hearing over a long period of time. Caleb's imitation is only but a very minute and small fraction of the power in Vernon's voice." Samy explained.

"So..." Yuchi began, more focused on the carvings. "Who are worthy?"

"His gay partners." Samy, Dave and Caleb answered together.

"Stop asking the obvious, Yuchi." Caleb added.

Samy read on. "As long as you noobs continue to pursue the true meaning of Freedom and Justice..."

"He's still a freaking long way to the true meaning of 'freedom' and 'justice'." Dave added.

"You don't know, Dave." Samy explained. "To Vernon, 'freedom' means 'captivity, confinement, imprisonment, incarceration, limitation, servitude, slavery, subjection or suppression'."

"You defined that well enough." Yuchi commented.

"And 'justice' means 'illegality, injustice, lawlessness, partiality, unethicalness and unfairness' to him." Samy spits. "What a disgrace and disgust, him using the word 'justice' anyhow he likes. He should be slain for this alone!"

"I will not tolerate the wrong usage of the word 'justice'!" Dave roared. "He must be punished!"

"Reading on..." Samy knelt down, reading the carvings, now low in the wall. "We will meet again... lol..."

"Yeah, we will meet again, for we need to crush his nuts and chop his balls." Yuchi grinned.

"I don't wanna meet him again. His look alone disgusts me." Caleb ran off.

"Where's he going?" Dave asked, raising an eyebrow, which Yuchi jumped around to look at where Caleb is running to.

"He'll puke every single time he thinks of Vernon's face." Samy explained.

"With a face like his, who won't?" Dave asked.

"Back. Sorry for that, guys." Caleb had a slightly green face.

"What's with the green face? Camouflage in the forest?" Yuchi laughed.

"Shut up." Caleb whacked him.

"Sayonara noobs." Samy suddenly said.

"What was that supposed to mean?!" Caleb roared angrily.

Samy pointed to the carvings at the most bottom that says "Sayonara noobs.".

"Heh. He, dare call me, honourable Knight and Flame Master, the Great Dave Dragonflame, a 'noob'?!" Dave roared, slashing a nearby wall with his blade. Rocks started falling from the roof.

"He still continues to think of himself as some sort of 'king of the world', sitting at the top of the world and looking down on us, when actually, he is the one down there, beside those filthy trash bins and what not." Samy explained.

"Arrogance has run too deep into his blood and veins. We must stop this evil." Yuchi said.

"I will bring an end to him... MYSELF!" Dave roared.

"Charge!" Caleb shouted.

"Run! The ground is shaking... The Earthquake of RC is here!" Yuchi shouted.

"Make way for the Firestorm, before you get burnt!" Samy shouted, followed by a warcry. "Mind doing Edmond's battlecries, Dave?"

"Fine. Here comes the Tsunami!! Quick! Search for high land!!!" Dave roared.

Explanation: A long time ago, there was a Guild in a game named Survival Project named RCAlliance. The Guild had four leaders, Samy, Yuchi, Edmond and How Chee. Samy is known as RCFirestorm, Yuchi is known as RCEarthquake, Edmond, Samy's cousin, is known as RCTsunami and How Chee is known as RCHurricane. Too bad no one shouted How Chee's battlecries.

"There it is." Samy looked around, wielding his warspear. The heavy-looking door in front of him was emitting a dark aura.

"Let's boost our stats first with some buffs and auras." Samy suggested.

"I can't agree more." Dave replied, then focused his energies. Light seems to be dancing around him. "Strike Power!"

Suddenly, four pillars of red light covered all four of them and disappeared quickly. Samy felt stronger. He was sure that the others felt it too.

"My turn. Devotion Aura!" Yuchi shouted.

The surroundings suddenly became more lighted, as Samy felt his defensive abilities increase. "My turn! Flame Haste!" And with that, his legs felt as if they were one with the wind.

"Wind Walk!" Caleb shouted, and disappeared into thin air.

"How selfish. His ability only affects him..." Dave commented.

"Let's get in there!" Samy commanded.

"For the Runite Knights!" Dave shouted.

"Just leave this to me!" Yuchi shouted.

With cries of rage, the three warriors broke down the door.

"Insolent fools!" Vernon cried, sitting on his throne, with Justin and Yuxi beside him. "How dare you break into my pro chamber?"

"Very 'pro'." Yuchi rolled his eyes.

"We are here to bring an end to you and your arrogance!" Samy shouted, slamming his warspear into the ground heavily with a bang.

"Justice shall prevail, so don't bother resisting!" Yuchi roared, swinging his warhammer intimidatingly.

"Meh, I was hoping we get to fight." Dave said.

Next, the video shows Samy adjusting the camera position. "There, this should show the whole battlefield. Let's go, guys!"

"FOOLS!" Vernon yelled. He stood up, while Dave yawned loudly and obviously into the camera. He took out his two guns, and Yuchi joined in the yawning. Justin quickly wielded his throwing axes, while Yuxi aimed his bow at Samy's party threateningly. Samy joined in the yawning party.

"How dare you?!" Vernon roared. Samy could have swore that he heard Caleb, although invisible, yawned.

"Bring it on if you wanna die!" Samy shouted, and rushed forward into the winds of war, his warspear loyally by his side.

"Hah! Someone's got a death wish!" Dave shouted, rushing forward with Samy, blade resting on his shoulder.

"Light, give me strength!" Yuchi shouted, rushing forward with Samy and Dave, holding his warhammer by both hands.

Vernon quickly fired at Samy, while Justin threw his axes and Yuxi shot his arrows at Samy, but he swiftly rotated his spear at a high speed, reflecting the attacks, while Yuchi and Dave charged.

"Siege Hammer!" With a heavy blow from his hammer, Yuchi whacked Justin hardly, into the wall with a loud crash.

"Shooting Star!" Dave, as if holding a baseball bat, hit Yuxi as if he is hitting a baseball. Like Justin, the impact forced Yuxi crashing into the wall.

"How dare you?! Come, darkness, boost our strength! Unholy Strength!" Vernon cried. Three huge pillars of light emerged, empowering Vernon, Justin and Yuxi. Justin and Yuxi quickly got to their feets.

"Endure this we can win! Endurance Aura!" Justin roared.

"You can do better with your skills! Trueshot Aura!" Yuxi roared.

"They are casting their buffs and auras!" Yuchi realized.

"Then we strike fast and end this fast!" Dave commanded.

Samy charged up to Vernon, running up the stairs to his throne. The sword in his scabbard started to burn. Taking the chance, Yuchi and Dave also quickly ran up.

"Burning Soul Sword!" Samy tossed his spear up, jumped up, drew his sword and slashed Vernon down hard, all in a few seconds.

"Giga Plasma!" A voice shouted, and a huge and destructive beam of light fired at Samy, flinging him aside.

"Balancer!" Yuchi realized, half-way up the stairs.

"Fire Spiral!" Dave shouted, as a spiral of fire came and surrounded him while he slashed Vernon down hard.

"Dark Beam!" Vernon shot out a beam of darkness at Dave.

BOOM!

An explosion occured. Both Dave and Vernon were thrown back by the force.

"Hammer Rain!!" Yuchi quickly threw his warhammer up the sky. It landed forcefully on Balancer and Justin and knocked them out cold.

However, Yuxi was preparing an arrow, with its arrowhead dipped in a corrosive chemical. "Corrosive Shot!"

"Yuchi, behind you!" Samy shouted, quickly grabbing the spear lying beside him and got onto his feet, determined to hit the arrow back.

Suddenly, Caleb appeared behind Yuchi, splitting the arrow into two with his dagger.

"Mirror Image!" Caleb shouted. First moment, he disappeared. Next, four Calebs appeared.

"What trickery is this?!" Yuxi shouted angrily. "Starfall!" Waves of falling stars drop on the four rogues attacking him. Three disappeared into thin air.

"Die, fool! Puncture!" The real Caleb shouted, and with two quick slashes, he killed Yuxi.

"Say goodbye to your body, and your soul! Burst Rain of Darkness!!" Vernon suddenly shouted, firing bullets up into the sky.

"He's still alive?!" Yuchi realized. "Divine Shield!"

"Flame Shield!" Just as a shield of divine energies protect Yuchi, Samy conjured a shield of flame to protect him.

"Defend yourself all you want, you are trapped in my blog forever!" Vernon roared in triumph.

"That's what you think!!" Dave suddenly shouted, crushing Vernon's bones with a heavy swing from his blade from behind.

"Backstab! Wicked sick!" Caleb suddenly shouted, reappearing from thin air after he disappeared to dodge Vernon's attack.

"We did it, guys!" Yuchi cheered.

"Justice wins again!" Samy shouted as the party did their Victory Dances before getting out.

"This is Reporter Yuchi Lightbringer, reporting from outside of the blog. Vernon has been exterminated. This shall be our last Raid Instance."

"A glorious one nevertheless." Samy added.

The video zoomed in, showing a confused Caleb.

"Hey, guys. What is Dave up to?"

The video further zoomed in, showing a determined Dave.

"Damn." Samy said.

"Inferno Blast!" Dave shouted, raising his huge blade. A second later, Vernon's blog was caught in flames. Rocks collapsed all over the dungeon and blocked the entrance.

"Hey, look, guys. What's that?" Caleb asked, pointing at a piece of paper.

"It's a comment from a visitor to Vernon's blog!" Samy picked it up and read it aloud. "You keep boasting about how pro you are, well, why don't you walk the talk buddy? PROVE IT! You don't blog pro. Your layout ain't pro. And Justice Gundam is t3h suxx0rzz !! You ain't pro poser!"

Caleb and Yuchi clapped loudly, while an explosion from the distance shows Dave's determination to crumble the entire dungeon.

"This is Samy Dragonflame, signing off from our last Vernon's Blog Raid Instance. Remember to catch us as we set sail, upon the ultimate voyage, to find the legendary proness, ONE PRONESS!"

"Better than a little arrogant self-proclaimed pro with bad breath." Yuchi went forward and turned off the camera.

"If only that worthless fool would link me, this wouldn't have happened... What an idiot."

Friday Daily Post

STORM, EARTH AND FIRE - HEED MY CALL!

*prepares one whole box of potato chips and one whole carton of cans of coke for one whole month of solid gaming*

But seriously, if my parents won't stop nagging, I'd have to do a Hellfire Explosion right in their faces or somethin'. *rolls eyes*

Went to school just now with my mother to take my report book. Got to wait for Samuel's parents to finish talking with Mdm Low first, so I took out my Geography Textbook under the table and read. -_- They talk for so long that when I almost finish reading the book, they still haven't finish talking yet. -_- Faizal is next. Luckily, his father is shorter than Samuel's, though still long. -_-

Then my turn. Thank Lord Saradomin the teacher knows how to use propaganda to make my results (which in my opinions, sucks like hell, thanks to my daily gaming routine :D) appear god-like to my mother. Now I kinda know why "propaganda" starts with "pro" o_O. (Nothing to do with an arrogant little "self-proclaimed pro" whom we all "loved". )

Guess I should be posting my results. I know it sucks, so just shut up if you don't have any positive comments to say.

English - 54.3 - C6
Chinese - 62.0 - B4
Additional Maths - 63.8 - B4
Elementary Maths - 75.0 - A1
Pure Chemistry - 56.6 - C5
Pure Physics - 60.1 -B4
Combined Humanities (SS and History) - 52.0 - C6
Pure Geography - 66.9 - B3

Edit: I am laughing out loud right now at the fact that I could actually get a lowly B4 for A. Maths in the past.

Meh, I've got to say I'm proudest at three subjects: E. Maths, P. Geography and P. Physics. Why? Because E. Maths is my only A1 (or A for that matter -_-), and I beat Yoshida (aka Death God) in both P. Geog. and P. Physics (Physics by 2 marks!)!

Total was 490.7/800, with percentage of 61.3%. Ranked 19/42 in class and 87/238 in level. Whatever, I don't care, as long as I passed.

Edit: Wow, holy shit. I can actually rank 19th with a freaking B4 in A. Maths?

Now let's take a look at what comments my teacher have. Italic words are my comments. :P

English: An industrious and discliplined student. He has the potential to do even better in the subject. An English teacher indeed, to make me use the dictionary just to find the meaning of "industrious". -_- For those of you who don't know too, it means diligent and hardworking in work or study. Right. This is English we are talking about... -_- Let's see the next part... "Has the potential to do even better in the subject." Of course, I can do a lot better in the subject, so long as I can get a new teacher whose voice won't make me sleep. -_-

Chinese: He has the potential for further development. Appears that the teacher is too focus on Alvin that she hardly knows anything about her other students and has to anyhow give comments just to fill in the blank space beside "Chinese" that says "Comments".

A. Maths: He can achieve better grades with some competition. For Lord Saradomin's sake, I'm sitting beside Yoshida (aka Death God) in class! And he has 89 in A. Maths, top in class! If that isn't competition, then what is?! :|

E. Maths: He takes his work seriously and has achieved a good set of Maths results. *looks at the E. Maths file beside my schoolbag buried under mountains of unfiled E. Maths worksheets* You call that "take my work seriously"?! o_O

Chemistry: Is an attentive and well-behaved student. Is capable of improving further with continued effort. *looks at my Chemistry textbook, filled with names of skills, drawings of weapons, stats of monsters and whatnot data of what I should use in the games I am designing that I wrote/drew during Chemistry lessons* You call this "attentive"?! o_O Then again, compared to those others who slept like Snorlaxes... *pats himself on the back*


"I sleep when I finished eating and eat when I finished sleeping! Do you have any problems with that?!

Physics: He is attentive during lesson. He is able to achieve his goals with consistent effort. Attentive? Oh well, this is one of the very rare teachers in which I can listened to him for an hour and not fell asleep. :P

Combined Humanities: Needs improvement. Strive to revise and practice more frequently. Indeed. ^_^"

Geography: Capable of better results. Blimey! That's all?!

Physical Education: He is determined Determined what? Determined to kill the teacher for forcing me to run rounds around the school like an idiot every single week?! *rolls eyes*

That's all. I'll update my blog song tomorrow, and I have in mind what can annoy a certain someone most. (You know who you are.)

This blog post was edited on 31 October 2007 to nuke those fucking broken images.

Thursday Daily Post

Almost overslept this darned morning. XD

Was APEX first period, and my class was supposed to perform today. They asked me to bring the camp T-shirt for it, but only some stupid boys who are going to stand in front get to wear them. What's the freaking use of asking us bring them? Maybe I should have burnt that T-shirt... ...Or the guy who asked us to bring them. Both works for me. XD The actual performance was kinda good, I'm just glad to not be the only one who does not much know anything. :D Ephraim was damned brave, man, replacing Alvin for the last part in which he soloes. I don't know about the others, but he is sure one guy I respect. ;)

Edit: I am laughing out loud at myself at the moment. Can't believe I used to respect Particle E... XD

Yoshida and I continued on the more detailed parts of the RPG we are going to make, namely items. We decided to divide them into five: Food (Heals HP, MP, revives and cures status effects), potions (permanently increases stats), Weapons (Go to hell if you don't know what weapons are and what are their uses -_-), Armours (Go to hell about this too -_-) and Accessories. Lol, we had a very special accessory, thought up by Death God... "Jasmine's Photo"! According to Yoshida, it can only be equipped to Vernon, but makes him unstoppable, invincible and god-like! O_O Meh, I aren't gonna let Yoshida overpower Vernon. -_-

Went to the library for recess later. Was buying drinks when Yoshida and I decided to annoy Vernon by "helping" him press the buttons on the vending machine. He put in fifty cents and wanted a 100-Plus, but I pressed the Teh Tarik for him! XD Then he become damn angry, then Yoshida go add fuel to fire. Bam. Vernon pushed the cup of Coke Yoshida was drinking and went into the library with a huge rage, not giving a damn about his ten cents change, lol. Then the Coke I also got splashed. Area of Effect spells. -_- Went to the toilet to wash up, both of us laughing the whole way. Came out and heard a Malay girl complaining about a certain inconsiderate person about buying Teh Tarik and leaving it there, and we laughed harder. XD Don't ask about the ten-cent coin, but I regretted not taking it now. Read on to know what happened.

Chemistry next. I was taking out the shoelace from my shoe and tying knots with them, yes, the whole entire shoelace. What the freak can you tell from Chemistry lessons? It's boring. -_-

More free time for Physics SPA. Yoshida and I were just talking cock and singing songs. How nice. -_- What's worse, we had to pay for the Physics Ten Year Series. Strange, I remember the girl who was collecting the money (Forgive me, forgot her name. :P) coming to ask me for money before. -_- Stupid book was $4.90, but I only had $4.40, so I borrowed from Yoshida and became bankrupt, with -$0.50. -_- Meh... Yoshida also went broke too, so he suggested borrowing money from Vernon. I had a bet with him. If Vernon would lend him money, I owe him sixty cents. Knowing Vernon, I set the conditions to if Vernon would not lend him money, I do not owe him any money. Obviously, Vernon did not lend him, that selfish bastard. Oh well, at least I am no longer bankrupt, just poor. :D

Edit: Wow, holy shit. Can't believe Vernon used to be such a selfish bastard! XD

English, worse. Yoshida was so freaking bored that he volunteered to draw a better map for the game. And way better it is! :D

Lunch next. Thank Zheng Wei he lent me one dollar, or I'd go hungry. T_T Thank you again, Zheng Wei! :D

Chemistry SPA was kinda boring, an experiment on how much neutralisation takes place when different amounts of sulphuric acid (an acid, H₂SO₄) and sodium hydroxide (an alkali, NaOH) are mixed together. Kinda screwed up, forgetting about stirring the solution with the thermometer and using the cap lid. T_T

Gonna end the blogging here now. Can't stand Caleb annoying me on MSN asking when Vernon and I are going to update our blogs. -_- Just kidding, Caleb! :P

Caleb: "aww shut up about the last part of your blog."

XD

Edited on 31 October 2007 to fix those bloody broken images. Fucking ImageShack -.-

Wednesday Daily Post

Surprising, school was kinda good today, though I doubt I can wait any more for one solid month of holidays. Storm, earth and fire - Heed my call! This shall mark the Reign of Chaos!

English was kinda good. Well, to be honest, any English lesson with the teacher not standing or sitting in front and talking was good. The whole class (well, all the girls and the enthusiastic boys, to be precise) were dancing and practising for APEX tomorrow. One hour spent with me and Yoshida talking cock and singing song when the time could be used for better and more interesting activities like slaying villains. And Yoshida said something like:

"My bone is my sword,
Steel is my body, fire is my blood."

And the rest I can't remember. ^_^"

Edit: A search on Google found out that Yoshida was copying it from Shirou, the main character of Fate/stay night. Here's the whole thing:

I am the bone of my sword.
Steel is my body, and fire is my blood.
I have created over a thousand blades.
Unaware of loss.
Nor aware of gain.
Withstood pain to create many weapons.
Waiting for one's arrival.
I have no regrets, this is the only path.
My whole life was "Unlimited Blade Works."

PE next. Thank Lord Saradomin I don't have to run like an idiot around the school again, so Yoshida, Vernon and I went to play badminton. I don't know why, but I was exceptionally lousy when playing at the volleyball court and exceptionally well (in my opinions, at least ^_^") near the girls of our class.

Recess next, yay. Stupid security guards disallowed us from going back to the classroom and changed, so we sat at the benches in front of the Scout Den, bought some drinks and talked cock sang song again. ^_^"

It was supposed to be Maths next, but the confused Geography teacher walked in thinking she had classes at that time. She read the timetable wrongly. XD Obviously she got out embarrassingly. Have to design a board game or computer game related to Maths for Maths project. Teamed up with Yoshida, Vernon and Alvin, we decided to do a... ROLE PLAYING GAME! :D Go ahead and ask "How the hell do you put Maths into an RPG?". I aren't gonna tell you :P, but the storyline is kinda simple. Princess Jasmine has been kidnapped and Vernon, the main character, embarks on a quest to save her! XD

Chinese was kinda boring, I was spending the whole hour discussing about the game with Vernon and Yoshida by writing on my Chinese textbook.

Lunch, yay.

Geography was like English, dance as practise for APEX. Yoshida and I were spending the first half brushing up the game, designing the battle system, skills, map and storyline. Had to join in the practise later unfortunately. *rolls eyes*

On a RuneScape note...



I have obtained Level 98 Fletching! :D One more level to the god-like pwnage level!

Also, I got a Prisoner Pete Random Event. Yup, that was my first time, I did not encounter it until today. That Random Event was kinda... interesting. You get teleported into a room full of Animal Balloons (or is it Balloon Animals? ) and a guy (Guess what's his name? Prisoner Pete! *rolls eyes*). Prisoner Pete teaches you what to do, then you have to pull a level to show what animal you must pop, then you find the animal, pop it, take a key and give it to Prisoner Pete. Do this three times, and he will unlock the three gates and get you and himself out of there. Out, he will reward you. He gave me 13 Chaos Runes, but I guess it's better than nothing. ^_^"

The "Vernon's Blog" Instance Raid Party has been ready, and this time, we definitely have more than two people! :D Check back later for it, must wait until he updates his blog, but rest assure, it will be a dangerous dungeon filled with aggressive monsters, tricky traps and Vernon's singing!

Blog post edited on 31 October 2007 to fix broken images.

Royal Trouble

And a Monday comes, and I cheer loudly, despite the weekends ending. Why?

Because RuneScape updates on Monday most of the time!

And so, this week we sees a new quest: The Royal Trouble! Well, trouble has been stirring in the kingdoms of Miscellania and Etceteria. King Vargas of Miscellania and Queen Sigrid of Etceteria wants to declare war on each other, claiming that soldiers from the other kingdom has been stealing items and food from his or her people. And it is up to the Regent of Miscellania (also known as the player) to solve this quest!

SPOILERS AHEAD

The storyline is kind of lame though. Five teenagers from a barbarian city named Rellekka cannot pass the Fremennik Trials, which is a special test which requires a person to pass in order to become a Fremennik adult. Thus, they cannot qualify as adults, and the gang's leader's father almost wanted to give up on them.

Fed up, they went to the nearby Kingdoms of Miscellania and Etceteria. One has a smart plan. Disguise as soldiers, take items and food from both Kingdoms and claim that they are soldiers from the other Kingdom. After the two Kingdoms declared war of each other, they would "solve the crisis", return the items they stolen, claim they recover it and bring peace to both Kingdoms, thinking the Fremenniks would be so impressed about them bringing peace to two Kingdoms that they would be made Fremennik adults. Their plan, alas, would have worked if not for a Giant Sea Snake. It took the crates which contain items from both kingdoms and make its nest there.

And so, after solving the mystery (where I recover pages from a diary from extinguished fire to read what the hell is going on), I found the five teenagers. They told me that they were so cold they had to burn the pages of their diaries for fire (though you may ask why the last page has a sentence "Now we have to burn the pages of our diaries". Why the hell is he writing that when he is going to burn the freaking paper?!). Of course, I can pick up burning pages of diaries and read them as if you are reading your textbook. I am the Flame Master after all, remember?

And I proceed to the den of the monster, armed with a deadly whip from the abyss and a religious holy book from Lord Saradomin, wearing a powerful self-crafted amulet that brings glory with a proud Saradomin Cape flying behind me. I look to my surroundings. A room, half in the water. Crates are littered everywhere, and the water is bubbling; Fearing the worse, I raised my whip higher.



As I expected, the monster roared and foolishly attempted to sink its sharp fangs into my delicious (to it of course) flesh. A foolish attempt indeed. I did a backward somersault, out of the way of danger. I quickly took out a throwing knife from my pocket, and without thinking much, throw it at the beast. Wicked sick! Hit in the eye! With the monster roaring loudly in anger and pain, I instinctively ran up, sweat flowing from my face, my grip on my whip tightened...

"Die, beast!" With a loud and aggressive battlecry, I aimed for his head and slammed my whip down. Boom, HEADSHOT.

And I recovered the items and both Kingdoms are at peace again. Justice wins again as the Hero emerges victorous!

SPOILER ENDS HERE

Anyway, some screenshots of you guys to enjoy.



Of course you haven't. When I heard that I had to marry you, I quickly slayed all the priests in this world. ...Oops! Did I say that loud? :P



Indeed.



"You're the King? Well I didn't vote for you." -Quote from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, a movie in 1975. Anyway, you don't need to vote, Mr. Guard, the Kingdom of Miscellania adopts a system of monarchy, not democracy! All you have to do is follow whatever orders we give you!

[Screenshot unfortunately lost :(]

The teenagers were supposed to hide when they hear me coming. Armod, being exceptionally slow, had all his hiding places taken by the other four, so the others told him to act like a rock. Ironically, he can tell me "I am not supposed to talk, because I am supposed to act like a rock". *rolls eyes* Now we can see exactly why they did not pass the Fremennik Trials. XD

[Screenshot unfortunately lost as well :(]

:D Rakkur is my Fremennik name. Yes, I passed the Fremennik Trials, unlike some five other teenagers, eh? :P



It's the Warmongering Harpy! Run for your lives! Defend yourselves! O_O

BEGINNING DAILY REPORT OF VERNON'S BLOG
"Yuchi, are you scared?"

"Of course not, Samy."

"Even though there is only two of us?"

"Paladins fear nothing, Dragonflame."

"Heh. Whatever you say, Lightbringer... We are approaching our... destination."

"Yeah, I can see the black clouds coming out of that nasty-looking cave.

"Take out your warhammer, and grip it firmly. I aren't gonna lend you my sword or my spear if you accidentally lost it."

"Yes, yes, your precious sword and spear that you clean, polish and sharpen every night, yes, yes, I know."

"Are you playing around with me? To a warrior, his sword is always the most important."

"All I know is that if you continue on with your... philosophy, I'd have to charge in myself."

"Be my guest."

"No thanks. Just hurry up."

"Ok, hold on. Uh-hem. This is Warrior Samy Dragonflame, reporting from the entrance of Vernon's blog, ready to charge in. Companions: Paladin Yuchi Lightbringer."

"Why must our recordings be so detailed though?"

"All I know is that we got a mission to accomplish today. Let's go."

"Beware, of the force of the fist crushing the cup!"

"What the heck is this monster talking about, Yuchi?"

"Meh, his philosophy is more difficult to understand than yours."

"Force of fist! Crush the cup!"

"You don't have to shout!"

"He wants us to crush his cup, Samy."

"Couldn't agree more. Let's do this, Yuchi!"

"Just trust your buds!"

"RARGH!"

"YARGH!"

"ROAR!!"

"Yuchi Lightbringer reporting. We have just slain our first monster and, hey Samy, what's the rush? Wait up!"

"Argh...! What's that eerie song?!"

"It cuts to the bone, like the howling freeze of winter!"

"It is the Lion's Roar! Vernon mastered it!"

"No! It's the Megahorn Drill! He mastered that!"

"Wait... NO! It's Vernon singing One Piece!"

"Holy s***! His singing makes me like Chen Wei Lian!"

Chen Wei Lian is a Singaporean Singer. The quote is from Yoshida, our dear Death God, who at first dislikes Chen Wei Lian, but grew to like him after hearing the singing of a certain female classmate.

"Let's get the hell outta here before we melt in agony!"

"Killed by some terrible singing voice. What an honour..."

"Spare me the sarcasm! Let's just get the hell outta here!"

"You don't have to run so fast!"

"Ok, no more singing."

"Phew, my eardrums almost burst."

"With a voice like that, he's a threat to humanity."

"Too right you are, Samy. Hey, look, carvings on the wall!"

"Let me try and decipher it. Light please."

"Holy Light!"

"Thanks. Let's see... It seems to be something to do with... Dumb, gay, death and impossible?"

"It's impossible for a dumb gay named Vernon to die. Is that it?"

"I'm not that certain, Yuchi, but..."

"You are supposed to say "yes", damn it."

"Fine, yes. Let's continue to the next section. Something to do with him finishing faster than Yoshida despite the latter starting twenty minutes earlier? For goodness' sake, I wrote more than Yoshida ten minutes after I started, when Yoshida had already spent thirty minutes."

"More PROpaganda to make idiots believe he really is a pro, eh?"

"Cult of personality, I call this. Not good, not good at all."

"History teaches you too much shit."

"Ah, I guess so."

"Imagine it's not Joseph Stalin's face up there, but Vernon's."



Joseph Stalin was the leader of the Soviet Union from the mid-1920s to his death in 1953.

"Holy Saradomin Breath, Yuchi, don't make me have nightmares tonight."

"Right, sorry, man. Continue."

"Sure. Something about his corrections being gay."

"Heh. This is what you call "Shang Liang Bu Zhen Xia Liang Wai".

Shang Liang Bu Zhen Xia Liang Wai is a Chinese proverb, and when translated to English, roughly means that if the foundation is not strong, the building will not be stable.

"Oh? Explain, Yuchi."

"If a father is gay, his son would likely end up as a gay. Thus, if a boy is gay, his corrections would also definitely end up as a gay."

"So since Vernon's corrections is gay, he is a gay? Hahaha, nice one!"

"Yeah... Continue please."

"I'm kinda having a stomachache here for laughing too much. Take over me, thanks."

"Damn ya, Samy. Let's see... Some more "bub"s and some more "pro"s."

"We'll skip that crap. I got bored of it."

"Right-o. Let's see... Something to do with running away."

"I knew it! He was running away from the demons from hell he unleashed!"

"What demons?"

"Behind ya, bloody hell."

"What the...? ARGH, WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!"

"GOD, VERNON IS SINGING AGAIN!"

"Phew, the singing stopped."

"Look, Yuchi! The demons have collapsed! They are burning to ashes! No, I did nothing!"

"Wow, a voice that can even kill demons when singing. Scary..."

"Too true... WHAT THE?!"

"1m 90nn4 9v u 70 7h3 c0un7 0f 10 70 937 ur u91y,y3110\/\/,n0 900d k1553r 0ff my PR0p3r7y, b3f0r31i p0p ur 9u75 fu11 0f 134d5. 1,2,10!!1!!11!!1"

"Holy, I don't like the sound of that, even though I don't understand. What it means, Samy?"

"Arm yourself, it's time we fight or die."

"Demons!"

"I'm shaking in my boots, and Vernon's shaking in his boobs. Let's take care of this."

"Of course."

"Just don't freaking do that glowing-warhammer thingy and throw it at the monster. Last time you almost hit me."

"Yuchi Lightbringer, with companion Samy Dragonflame, signing out! Bring it on!"

"Less talk, more action, Yuchi! RARGH!!"

Daily Post

*grabs a cup of coffee and turns on my iPod Nano to listen to music to undo the damages I suffered in English lesson*

Darn, no more battery.

*lags while iPod charges* o_O

Anyway, I woke up at 7:13am this morning. Yes, very late, I know. I quickly grabbed my uniform (fortunately lying on my computer chair conveniently). Just went to the cupboard, grabbed some textbooks and workbooks at the top and run to school. Luckily one bus comes just as I reached the bus stop, so I quickly board it. There is air-con inside! :D

In front of my school is one thin strip of road that only allows two cars in per way, and there is a traffic light in front of my school gate, making every morning jam with the high numbers of cars wanting to pass. I was sit in the stationary bus, watching one school attendant (who happens to be very annoying and irritating to the student population, roaring at people who comes into the classroom block so often that the Death God wants to punch him and the Flame Master wants to slash him :P) close the side gate. Scolding some nasty vulgarities (he deserved it *rolls eyes*), I waited impatiently, and when the bus reached the bus stop, zoomed out like a hero rushing to a scene where villains terrorize the civilians. I aren't a Hero for nothing, ok? :D

No choice, I had to march in by the main gate. I can either march in peacefully or create a path of blood, anything suits me [but I will have to clean my sword and spear later :(]. Oh well, I stood in front of the small building where security guards rest and stand at attention to the National Song with other latecomers. Oh well, I'm not alone. :D Phew, no big deal, I was allowed to just go back in and join my class. Oh well, it is my first time late in my nine years of education. :P

First period, we got back our results. All I care is if I pass or not. I don't care about others' results. "人比人，气死人！" (A Chinese proverb meaning that people will get angry if they compare to others.)

After a stupid recess where I called for more money :D and played around with Vernon's new bought electronic dictionary, we went for History lessons. We spent one whole hour writing an essay: "Why did the Weimar Republic collapse in 1933?" If it wants to collapse, let it collapse! My tai chi, is it?

Tai chi: Matter

Next period: English lessons. The teacher was supposed to go through the exam paper with us, but she, for some fat reason, wants to be a fat kan cheong spider. Plus her voice has the dangerous power of making someone sleepy and defenseless. After being fed up with her for going so fast, I decided to just do what her voice wants me to: SLEEP!

Kan cheong spider: Term used to describe someone who is kan cheong.

Kan cheong: A Cantonese and Hokkien term meaning nervous, harried or uptight.

Bell rings, teacher left. I felt like a bull, I felt like an aeroplane, I felt like a Hero who drank a whole entire cauldron of coffee, coke, 100-Plus, H2O, Red Bull! :D I can feel it! I can feel the energy surging inside me, the fire burning in my veins, the alertness all coming back to me and into my brain, the instinct to uphold justice and slay villains, all ready to explode upon impulse! :D

Yeah, maybe that was too exaggerating, but it is a fact I no longer felt sleepy when the teacher left. I wonder why... *rolls eyes*

E. Maths next. I totally don't understand a single word about Variation, the new topic. Then again, the Death God says that our teacher can talk for weeks and he can still not understand, whereas he can just read the textbook and understands it in minutes.

Money I called for during recess arrived. :D Don't think wrong, I need to buy an electronic dictionary. :|

We interrupt this blog message for an important news. I, Samy Dragonflame, the Flame Master, has obtained Level 97 Fletching right now, on 22 May 2006, 3:10pm GMT +8! Two more levels to the pwnage 99. Meanwhile, bow down to the professional fletcher! :D

Anyway, I went back to the class after finishing my lunch, leaving Vernon to eat with his... umm... you-know-what. :D If you seriously don't know, I may want to tell you. :D Yoshida was the only one in class, still doing the Maths worksheet (which I finished very quickly, and prepared to do a lot of corrections :P). I played around with my new electronic dictionary.

We got free time off for Physics. Yay. :D

And well, I have successfully organized Raid Instances to Vernon's blog. I will personally lead a strong team of warriors, knights, archers and magicians, to challenge our strength and skill, to tell those who do not have the bravery to approach his black aura-emitting blog what is going on inside. Reports are made clear where they start and end, so if you do not want to read them, you can just skip them. Though it may seem offensive, we do it simply for pure fun, joy and laughter. ;)

BEGINNING DAILY REPORT OF VERNON'S BLOG

"We were at first greeted by a dangerous monster, saying something like a hand wants to hold a cup but crushes it. Appears that Vernon always crush his cup when he wants to drink water. From this source, I can infer that Vernon is a very violent boy."

"What do you expect? He is the Dark Lord."

"Right. Who's the reporter, anyway?"

"You are. Just adding facts."

"Whatever. And my party moves on, slaying a few monsters here and there. From what we make out from the carvings on the wall... Hey, who turned off the light?!"

"Gee, my Holy Light spell only lasts a short time, remember?"

"Cast it again then!"

"But I ran out of mana."

"You Paladin fools always run out of mana."

"Better than some big-mouth reporter fool who cannot even cast a spell to conjure light."

"Hey, guys, stop quarreling. Let me cast some Flame spells."

"No! You'll burn this blasted cave!"

"That's what we want."

"I agree with the Paladin for the first time."

"Here goes. Firestorm!"

"Uh... Go up more... No, a little bit down. Ok, I can see it, thanks. Well, from what I make up from the carvings... Vernon was... keep the fire strong! ...was... uh... playing soccer when he got owned."

"I think it's pwned."

"I think it's pawned."

"Nah, it's all three."

"Fine. He was owned, pwned and pawned..."

"Tragically."

"Terribly."

"Horribly."

"Killing Spree."

"Dominated."

"Mega-Killed."

"Unstoppable. The other team, I mean."

"Wicked sick. Yeah, the other team."

"Monster killed."

"God-like. Yes, the other team."

"Beyond God-like, someone kill him!"

"HOLY S***!"

"HOLY S***!"

"Stop going all DotA and let me read."

"Fine."

"Well, he was owned in a soccer by... WHAT?!"

"What?"

"What?"

"What??"

"He continuously scored own goal..."

"NOOB!"

"TRAITOR!"

"HE SUCK!"

"Yup, he keep scoring own goals."

"Let's go challenge him to a soccer match."

"I bet ten dollars you can own him with your eyes closed and your hands tied up."

"I bet fifty dollars, but also with your legs tied up and you being the only player on your team."

"And let's see... He was pwned in Halo 2 too. Stop laughing, damn it. And he had taekwondo lessons before?!"

"Blimey!"

"I don't believe it!"

"It defies all laws!"

"Unbelieveable indeed. This must be PROpaganda."

"PROpaganda, eh?"

"Yes, PROpaganda. Anyway, he did chin-ups and could only do 3?! On a very low bar?!"

"Argh, help! My stomach is so painful from all the laughing!"

"I couldn't stop laughing!"

"Stop rolling on the floor, damn it."

"What, can't I ROFL? Anyway, continue, Mr. Reporter."

"Fine. And he... watched Shrek. Great. You three stay here while I go call for reinforcements. No way am I going to drag three people who became handicapped from laughing alone all the way out."

"He is leaving, guys."

"I need water... Dying from... laughter... HAHA!"

"Hahaha!"

"Anyway, this is Sebastian, Paladin of Group B, reporting. Kakashi, Reporter of Group B, has apparently left to call for reinforcements. Until he returns, I will take over the reporting. Over."

"What it say? What it say?"

"Don't be a joker and let me read. He bought a... e-dicktionary?"

"Ruddy hell! He bought an e-dick?!"

"E-dick? What's that?"

"You fool, he must be talking about electronic penis!"

"But why the hell would he need one?"

"So what Yoshida said was correct. He doesn't have one."

"How sad... ARGH! Monsters!"

"RUN!!"

Vernon: Pro? o_0

Do you know why people get sick of reading the word "pro" after barely escaping from Vernon's blog with very little health left? Because there are too many "pro" words in there. And do you know why there are too many "pro" words in there?

Well, I've done a bit of research, and the results are:

Vernon
PROducer (That's his "rank" in his CCA)
PROtractor (Just a stupid piece of plastic locked in people's pencil boxes)
PROvocated (Very easily, I may add)
PROvoked (More easily)
PROsecuted (For all the crimes he did? o.O)
PRObation (It's freaking obvious that he's on probation)
PROdigal (The simple reason why our textbooks keep bitching about the world going to use up all its resources)
PROblematic (Times ten to the power of infinity)
PROstitute (Of course, everyone knows that)

And some more additions from our dear friend Howchee.

Have you noticed that in Vernon's blog, other than the word "pro" (which as of time of writing, a "census" conducted by brave warriors, knights and paladins, led by Samy Dragonflame, there are forty (40) "pro"s), there are also three other common words? Of course, they are "noob", "bub" and "owned."

But why "pro", "noob", "bub" and "owned"?

Simple.

Pro? I think Samy did very well explaining that above.

Noob? Simple. He is a noob.

Bub? Simple too. He is a bub.

Owned? More simple! He was, has been and will always be... OWNED!

Thanks for the interesting addition, Howchee. :D

Sunday Daily Post

Nothing up much. Strung about 3k bows today in RuneScape while spending a lot of time reading comic books, lol.

What's more interesting is this:

I was talking about Yuchi and Caleb about blogging when we three happened to talk about Vernon's blog. They two, being the brave, bold, adventurous, manly, gusty, gallant, valiant, unfearful, undaunted, undismayed and heroic warriors they are, decided to draw their warhammer and dagger and challenge themselves against fate, and despite my protests and warnings, ventured into Vernon's blog, ready to emerge as victorous warriors or die a contented and satisfied death.

And so I held my breath, holding my Holy Book and praying to Lord Saradomin for their safety return.



And so, after about an hour of restless waiting on my part, I saw two panting but happy people coming out. It's Yuchi and Caleb! They survived!

"We made it!" Yuchi cheered happily.

"Yeah, it is kind of easy though." Caleb winked at me.

Though I notice wounds and injuries on almost every part of their bodies.

"What happened to you guys inside...?" I asked.

But I was interrupted by Yuchi. "Know what our conclusion is?"

I look confused.

"He means, what do we realize about Vernon's blog." Caleb explained.

"What?" I asked curiously.



Caleb says:
Vernon's blog
Caleb says:
really
Caleb says:
suck

What a "pro" he really is, eh?

...Oh well. At least we can use his blog as an "Instance". Those who play World of Warcraft should not only understand what I am talking about, but also cheer and sharpen whatever weapon they use (imagine someone sharpening, let's say, a bow? Or a whip? o_O).

For those of you who are uneducated in the ways of the World of Warcraft, World Dungeons typically have sub-areas called "Instance Dungeons", or just "Instances". These Instances are special areas in the World of Warcraft where your group or raid party is able to interact with a dungeon privately; that is, without interference from other parties. Instance dungeons tend to feature the most difficult and rewarding content, both in terms of enemies and items, but also in terms of level design. Getting through an instance requires a well-trained and well-balanced group of players that are of an appropriate level for the challenge.

I am organizing one. Those who are interested, tag at my tagboard.



Blog edited on 31 October 2007 to fix broken links, though the screenshot of Caleb's comments on MSN was so old it disappeared into the empty void (:P), and I had to depend on my memory to write down what he said. I think it's mostly accurate to what he say, but of course, I can't freaking remember his nick, so let's call his nick "Caleb" for simplicity's sake :P

Lyrics of "Six-Coloured Rainbow" :P

Nothing interesting today, so I am presenting you, with English translation...

红色是你扮鬼脸
Red is the colour of you making funny faces
绿色是你早点
Green is the colour of your breakfast
蓝色的纸风车在你窗前
The blue windmail lies in front of your window
什么梦陪你入眠
What dreams accompany your sleep?

台北下了一场雨
Taipei underwent a downpour
停在傍晚五点
Which stopped at five o'clock in the evening
隔一道换日线
Though separated by different time zones
无论多遥远
No matter how far apart
我们约在思念的花园
We will meet at the garden of longing thoughts

我望着六色彩虹贴在想你的天空
Looking at the six coloured rainbow pasted in the sky composed of thoughts about you
缺席的那个颜色就在你迷人笑容
The missing colour is that of your mesmerising smile
听说你那里窗外总是一片灰蒙蒙
Hearing that your window's view is always an ashy grey
我的咖啡变得又苦又浓
My coffee became bitter and thick

我想把六色彩虹印在给你的信封
I would like to print a six coloured rainbow on the envelopes of letters sent to you
一封封我都寄到叫做牵挂的邮筒
Each letter sent to a letter box called "deeply missing you"
当你无助的时候看着东方的天空
When you feel helpless look into the eastern sky
有座桥会跟你相通
A bridge would be there waiting to connect with you

红色是你扮鬼脸
Red is the colour of you making funny faces
绿色是你早点
Green is the colour of your breakfast
蓝色的纸风车在你窗前
The blue windmail lies in front of your window
什么梦陪你入眠
What dreams accompany your sleep?

台北下了一场雨
Taipei underwent a downpour
停在傍晚五点
Which stopped at five o'clock in the evening
隔一道换日线
Though separated by different time zones
无论多遥远
No matter how far apart
我们约在思念的花园
We will meet at the garden of longing thoughts

我望着六色彩虹贴在想你的天空
Looking at the six coloured rainbow pasted in the sky composed of thoughts about you
缺席的那个颜色就在你迷人笑容
The missing colour is that of your mesmerising smile

听说你那里窗外总是一片灰蒙蒙
Hearing that your window's view is always an ashy grey
我的咖啡变得又苦又浓
My coffee became bitter and thick

我会把六色彩虹通通存在我心中
I will keep all the six coloured rainbows in my heart
要洒在下次我们见面共享的甜筒
Sprinkling it on the sweet mailbox when we next meet
当想念滋味我都为你尝过每一种
Only when I have tasted every flavour of missing you
重逢才更令人感动
Will our meeting again be more emotional and meaningful

OSIM Excursion

Felt like blogging again, so here I am. :D Please relink me back, all old friends. Thanks. :)

Went to OSIM this morning for school excursion. Was told by form teacher that handphones and MP3 players are allowed to be brought yersterday, but I was still a bit scared. What if they got consficated? :S

No choice! :( I put my iPod Nano (being very slim) into my wallet! O_O My handphone does not fit though, so I have to put my left hand into my pocket the whole day, just to prevent people from seeing it. XD

OSIM was quite fun. Got to try a few massage chairs, fitness equipment and stuff. Wanted to run on the...



[Don't mind me, I don't know the name, and I'm afraid people may think dirty if I say "running machine. :P (Edit: I have just realized the name, lol. It's a treadmill. This edit was made on 31 October 2007. ;))], but I did not know how to use it properly at the beginning, so I just have to drag the belt with my feet to make it run. The whole class was damned excited about the iGallop...


(A picture for the noobs. Keep the change, you filthy animals.)

But I was more excited whether the machine would stop or collapse when Alvin (the fattest guy in my class) sits on it. o_O

I admit. I have to thank Alvin, thank his father, thank his mother, thank his auntie, thank his uncle, thank his grandfather, thank his grandmother, thank his cousin, thank his brother and thank his sister that the machine did not break when he sat on it!!

Played around with the various massage chairs and even forced Alvin out of the...


(Another picture for the noobs. Again, keep the change.)

...just to try it! :D Very shiok!

Shiok: Originally a Malay exclamation, but now a universal Singaporean expression denoting extreme pleasure or the highest quality.

This little thing can massage your whole body, from back to shoulders, from wrists to legs! O_O

Finally figured out how to use the running machine " (with a bit help from Yoshida and Faizal) when we have to go. Sigh... :(

Then we went to the eighth floor, where they show us the place where OSIM employees can relax. There is a swimming pool (YES! A FREAKING SWIMMING POOL ON THE EIGHTH FLOOR, WITHOUT A SHELTER AND WITHOUT THE BUILDING COLLASPING DUE TO THE HEAVY WEIGHT OF THE WATER! SHOUT "HOLY S***!" QUICK!! ^_^") there, as well as an air-conditioned room with gym equipment, two billiards tables, a table soccer (which has no cover at the top happily, so people can just snatch the ball when others are in the middle of a game and annoy them :D) and five massage chairs. Everyone stayed out of the gym equipment area and playing billiards, except for "Larry" and his gang. Meh, I was a newb (not a noob ^_^") in the game, so I was always owned to the point that I disrupted the game by using the cue to hit the balls like how you use a spear to whack people. :D

Then we have to go to the third floor. Thanks to Alvin overloading the lift, I have to take the second one. *rolls eyes* When I reached there, I saw Yoshida (who took the first lift) sitting in a meeting room all by himself and eating sandwiches. Vernon (the self-proclaimed pro ) and I quickly went to take some food and we ate with him. I locked the door (so we get the room all to ourselves :D), while Vernon quickly went to the whiteboard, where three markers and a duster lies, took up the marker and wrote "PRO MEETING" (which, in other words, means "a meeting of pros" :D). Alvin joined us later, and was still eating when we finished (though I bet you knew that, or at least, guessed that ^_^").

Having nothing to do, I went outside, wanting to get more food, but they were all finished, so I went back to see Yoshida shouted some vulgarities and the whiteboard having a bunch of circles:



Turns out Vernon, having nothing to do, draws a "dartboard" on the board and uses the marker as a dart, but hits Yoshida's uniform instead. What the heck... On the second turn, he missed the dartboard. XD

Having nothing to do, I grabbed a market and wrote on the whiteboard:

1. D0 N07 B39 F0R PHR33 S70F PL0X!
2. B0W D0WN 70 73H D4RK L0RD!
3. B3 4 900D B0Y 4ND 91RL!
4. CH4771N9 R3V34L5 J00R P3R50N4L17Y!
5. P4Y 4773N710N 70 73H D347H G0D!

And after number five, I drew something like this:



But with a smiley face! :D

Then I wrote on top "RUL35 0F 73H L337 PR0 M3371N9" when Larry came. Being unable to understand leet, Vernon and I had to translate it for him. XD I guess I should translate it for noobs who don't understand teh pwnage language of 1337.

Rules of the leet pro meeting
1. Do not beg for "free stuff please"! ("Phr33 st0f pl0x" is a common phrase used in games when noobs beg from pros.)
2. Bow down to the Dark Lord! (Dark Lord is Vernon's nickname, and since he always wants people to bow down to him, why not?)
3. Be a good boy and girl! [In a MMORPG named Survival Project, where Vernon and I played (I quitted, while he still continues to play), this message will pop up when someone is spamming the chatbox.]
4. Chatting reveals your personality! (A message in Survival Project reminding people not to swear.)
5. Pay attention to the Death God! (Death God is Yoshida's nickname. Don't ask me why we must pay attention to him though, it's Vernon's idea.)

When the teacher pop in to tell us that we have to go, Vernon and I quickly shouted "S***!" and rushed to erase what we wrote on the board. :P

And next follows a very boring lecture from two managers, talking about their company logo, status, departments, aims, franchises, retail outlets and whatnot, with me and Vernon writing messages in our handphones to avoid the scolding titled "Don't talk!". :P

And then we left for school on a bus. Vernon, Yoshida and I quickly snatched the back seats, and Vernon and I were listening to our MP3 while eating the potato chips we kope. :P

kope: To steal, usually something trifling. Similar in meaning to "stun".
"Wah, where you kope all this stuff from?"

Quite a long post for someone who has not blog for a long time, eh? :P Remember to relink me, for those whom I used to link! You know who you are! ;)

This blog post was edited on 31 October 2007 to fix broken images. -.-
